Change of Major or College

Students wishing to declare a major in a different college must first receive permission from the dean’s office of the college to which they wish to transfer.  Change from one college to another is initiated by filing a change of college form with the new college.

To change majors within your current college, consult with the academic advisor for the new major regarding program requirements and the procedure to declare the major.  There may be restrictions on the time of the semester for declaring a major or changing colleges.  Students should contact the dean's office of the college they wish to enter for information on the optimal time to begin the new program of study.

While you explore major options, you may declare "undecided," a status available to freshmen and sophomores in University College.
